The Red Waste

The Red Waste

A vast desert east beyond the Dothraki Sea, it is a great dividing area in the center of the continent of Essos. It is too sparse for most khalasars to take their horses into, with little grazing land to feed their horses.

In Season 2 Epiosde 1 of the TV series, Daenerys Targaryen journeys through the Red Waste with her khalasar, dragons, and retinue. In desperation she sends her bloodriders, Aggo, Jhogo, and Rakharo to scout in three different directions for rivers, cities, or for any sign of life.
